<p class="C1">&#65279JI&#362&#7750 SI&#7748GH PARUPK&#256R&#298, BH&#256&#298 (1884-1921), was the son of Bh&#257&#299 Pah&#363 Mall of Gujr&#257&#7749w&#257l&#257 district. His original name was Ji&#363&#7751 Mall. In 1902 he, listening to the preachings of Bh&#257&#299 M&#363l Si&#7749gh, Garm&#363l&#257, went through the rites of <u>Kh</u>&#257ls&#257 <i>p&#257hul</i> and became Ji&#363&#7751 Si&#7749gh. He shifted to Lyallpur town (now Faisal&#257b&#257d in Pakistan) where he set up a small provisions shop. He learnt Gurmukh&#299 and committed to memory several passages from the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib and a few <i>V&#257rs</i> from Bh&#257&#299 Gurd&#257s. He regularly attended the local Gurdw&#257r&#257 where he joined the morning choir to recite <i>&#256s&#257 k&#299 V&#257r</i>. Ji&#363&#7751 Si&#7749gh made himself very popular for his honesty and polite manner and his earnestness to be of help to others. These qualities earned him the epithet <i>parupk&#257r&#299</i>, one who delighted in being of help to others.</p>
<p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;	To a call from Jathed&#257r Kart&#257r Si&#7749gh Jhabb&#257r and Bh&#257&#299 Lachhma&#7751 Si&#7749gh for the liberation of the holy shrines at Nank&#257&#7751&#257 S&#257hib, particularly Gurdw&#257r&#257 Janam Asth&#257n, then controlled by the dissolute Ud&#257s&#299 Mahant Narai&#7751 D&#257s, he responded with ready enthusiasm. Although under the orders of the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee, the entire operation had been called off, the news did not reach Bh&#257&#299 Lachhma&#7751 Si&#7749gh and his men and they all met with a cruel death at the hands of Mahant Narai&#7751 D&#257s and his hirelings. Likewise, Bh&#257&#299 Ji&#363&#7751 Si&#7749gh missed the signal from Amritsar. He was waylaid in the vicinity of Sr&#299 Nank&#257&#7751&#257 S&#257hib and was shot down.</p>
